I have an employment-law matter in California involving unpaid wages. I am searching for an attorney admitted to the California bar who can handle the case on a contingency basis. The dispute is limited to wage-and-hour violations—no wrongful-termination or discrimination claims—so experience with DLSE complaints, PAGA actions, or federal Fair Labor Standards Act filings will be essential. The core work will include: • Reviewing my pay records, timecards, and employer policies to confirm the unpaid-wage violations • Drafting and filing the appropriate complaint (state Labor Commissioner claim, PAGA notice, or civil lawsuit) • Managing negotiations, discovery, and, if needed, courtroom or settlement-conference representation until resolution Acceptance criteria: • Active California law license in good standing • Demonstrated success in wage-and-hour cases, particularly unpaid-wage recovery • Willingness to proceed entirely on contingency, with fee collected only from recovered amounts If you meet these points and are ready to move quickly, please let me know what documents you need first so we can start building the claim right away.
